A collection of detailed case studies that emphasize partnerships with local and descendant communities to foster ethical, inclusive research practicesThis book highlights approaches to archaeological research that emphasize active involvement of local communities and descendant groups in the design, investigation, interpretation, and management of sites and heritage. It argues for a paradigm shift toward ethical, inclusive, and community-driven archaeology, providing real-world examples that demonstrate the broad applicability and benefits of collaborative work.The detailed case studies in this book examine successes and challenges in building reciprocal partnerships within academic, public outreach, museum, and compliance contexts. These projects include NAGPRA compliance work with the Miami Tribe of Oklahoma, an archaeological field school in South Carolina that provides educators with resources for teaching African American history, and the preservation of a cemetery uncovered during FEMA efforts in the US Virgin Islands. Throughout the chapters of Collaborative and Community-Engaged Archaeology, contributors advocate for consultation, shared decision-making, respect for knowledge systems, and the integration of diverse perspectives at every stage of archaeological practice.

Long before the advent of the global economy, foreign goods were transported, traded, and exchanged through myriad means, over short and long distances. Archaeological tools for identifying foreign objects, such as provenance studies, stylistic analyses, and economic documentary sources reveal non-local materials in historic and prehistoric assemblages.Trade and exchange represent more than mere production and consumption. Exchange of goods also led to an exchange of cultural and social experiences. Discoveries of the sources of alien objects surpass archaeological expectations of exchange and geographic distance, revealing important technological advances.With thirteen case studies from around the world, this comprehensive work provides a fresh perspective on material culture studies. Evidence of ongoing negotiation between individuals, villages, and nations provides insight into the impact of trade on the micro-, meso-, and macro-level. Covering a wide array of time periods and areas, this work will be of interest to archaeologists, anthropologists, and anyone working in cultural studies.
